Detonation Container with Bottom-Access Gripping Tools
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile detonation-proof transport containers require external manipulators or robots for loading and unloading detonation-dangerous objects, making the process complicated and costly.
Innovation Solution
A mobile detonation-proof transport container with remotely controlled, individually maneuverable gripping tools mounted on a crane arm, allowing for loading and unloading through a bottom opening, featuring fork-shaped arms for vertical access and grilles for horizontal manipulation, and liquid-filled bags for containment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If external manipulators or robots are used for loading and unloading detonation-dangerous objects, then the handling capability is improved, but the device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the container and manipulator into a single integrated unit. The gripping tools are mounted directly on the container body, eliminating the need for separate external robots or manipulators. This merging reduces device complexity while maintaining full handling capability for loading and unloading detonation-dangerous objects.
Solution Approach 2:
The container is designed with multiple functions: it serves as both the transport container and the mounting platform for gripping tools. The same container structure that provides protection also supports the manipulation functions, reducing the need for additional specialized equipment.
2Ease of operation
If a hatch is provided on the container for loading and unloading, then the accessibility is improved, but the structural integrity and safety are compromised
Solution Approach 1:
Instead of providing access through the top (hatch), the patent inverts the approach by providing access through the bottom of the container. The gripping tools are positioned at the bottom, allowing loading and unloading operations without compromising the top structure or requiring hatches that would weaken the container.
3Ease of manufacture
If the container is designed with fixed gripping tools, then the manufacturing simplicity is improved, but the adaptability to different objects is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The gripping tools are designed to be movable and adjustable rather than fixed. The grilles can be raised and lowered, and the gripping arms can adjust their positions and orientations. This dynamic design allows the same container to handle various sizes and types of detonation-dangerous objects while remaining manufacturable using standard mechanisms.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables safer, simpler handling of detonation-dangerous objects without external robots, increasing accessibility and application fields, including underground access and collection of loose or powdery materials, while eliminating the need for hatches.
Implementation Method 1
liquid-filled bags for preventing the ejection of large and medium-sized parts to outside the container
Implementation Method 2
a metal grille for the ventilation of overpressure and of detonation gases from a detonation in the container
